Have you ever felt like you're doing your best to keep up with life, but something still feels off? Maybe you're constantly overthinking, feeling overwhelmed by everyday responsibilities, or struggling to find confidence in yourself. You might even wonder why things that seem easy for other people feel so difficult for you.
As someone with Métis, Acadian French, and Pakistani roots, I know what it's like to navigate different cultures, identities, and expectations. I've also had my own experiences with anxiety and sensitivity, which have shaped how I understand myself and connect with others. These experiences are part of why I believe so strongly in understanding people as whole human beings, rather than focusing only on their struggles. I take a holistic approach, drawing from both Indigenous ways of knowing and evidence-based therapy to support you in a way that makes sense for your life.
Sometimes it's hard to know why you're feeling the way you do. Maybe you're constantly second-guessing yourself, putting everyone else's needs ahead of your own, or feeling like you're never quite doing enough. Together, we'll take the time to understand where those feelings come from and find ways to help you feel more comfortable and confident in yourself.
I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, executive functioning challenges, self-esteem concerns, and major life transitions. My approach is rooted in curiosity and compassion, recognizing that our struggles often make more sense when we look at the experiences, relationships, and environments that have shaped us.
I'm especially passionate about helping people who have spent so much of their lives trying to meet expectations, fit in, or be who they think they're supposed to be. I want to help you get to know yourself better, feel more confident in your choices, and stop feeling like you have to change who you are to be enough.
Spending time learning and creating, being out in nature, and connecting with the people I care about is important to me. I am deeply connected to the arts: movement, singing, dancing, and story; it is my greatest access point and an intuitive form of expression which offers an invitation to be more of who I am.
I’ve hosted a monthly coffee group for a couple years now, and it always amazes me how community comes together! We are stronger together!
